On the steep precarious hillsides of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Durango varieties of agave, indigenous to the region, grow wild and are heavily sought after by the local mezcaleros. These varietals produce flavors that are exotically intense, with rich earth tones and savory smokiness. From the heart of the maguey these flavors are traditionally extracted to produce mezcal that is wildly refine d. Because we at bozal believe that something wild produces a far richer spirit.
JabalĂ, or Convallis, is rare and extremely difficult to work with. During fermentation and distillation, this agave foams and expands, with a possibility of the liquid to explode out of the seams of the still. This agave is distinctly wild, takes nine to twelve years to mature, and is considered to produce the most exotic of all mezcals.
Tasting Notes,
The aromatics express notes of lavender and sage. Bright green vegetal flavors of celery and parsley grace the palate with a lingering finish of black pepper.
